Poetry Corner: The Open Cage

We’re locked in a cage with the key in our hands, this is a test of strengthAlone in the box, yet the world moves on, we cannot see it but this is fateWe try to sleep every night but the nightmares are there watching to keep you awakeI do not blame all the ones who left their own cage, yet I still feel betrayed

We’ll try to move past, but in the end, all of us know it won’t be the sameOur habits will change, our bonds are estranged, as humans we tend to shift the blameWe’re a people divided by selfish and selfless, humans are driven by gainNo matter the reason, no matter the gamble, people will leave the cage.
